GUEST,thurg Acadian Music And Musicians (27) RE: Acadian Music And Musicians 09 Nov 06


Well, all over the place. There are all kinds of little concerts variously advertised as "ceilidhs" or "kitchen parties" or sometimes even as "concerts", held regularly one night a week in a number of the smaller places, especially along the north shore; the College of Piping in Summerside has events a few nights every week; the town of Summerside has music on the waterfront most evenings; the Sun & Shade Campground in Borden puts on an Old-Time/Bluegrass concert every night; the Benevolent Irish Society has events two or three nights a week; Orwell Corners has events two or three nights a week; going a little more up-market, there are soft-seat concerts one or more nights a week in the Jubilee in Summerside, the Victoria Playhouse, the Georgetown Theatre, not to mention Charlottetown; then there are the festivals - besides the two we mentioned, there's the Larry Gorman Festival in Tyne Valley, a big do in Rustico, usually with hometown boy Lenny Gallant as the big star - this summer it was on the same weekend as the one in Abram Village ... and then there's me at the cottage sitting down with my mother to have a few tunes after the dishes are done ... I'm not sure how much action there is up-west; I don't pay much attention to that area because it's just too far from my base of operations (BOO). Almost all the concert/ceilidh-type events take place sometime between 7 and 11 in the evening - after that, as I'm sure you know, it's go home, have a lunch, then hit the hay - those cows aren't going to milk themselves tomorrow morning!
